Whole Foods, Paleo & Gluten-Free

Broccomole Dip

I can’t get enough of avocados at the moment, nor tahini (sesame seed paste to those not in the know), and whilst I was blending them together today to add to my mega salad, I had a brain wave to add some other bits and bobs! I thought I’d been really clever with the name here, but it turns out (following a google search) that I didn’t quite get here first… Anyway, whatever… This is MY version. Definitely makes salad more interesting.

Ingredients

1 medium sized ripe avocado

2 cups of steamed broccoli, cooled

large handful of basil leaves (about 10)

1/2 tablespoon olive oil

1 heaped tablespoon tahini

squeeze lemon juice

pinch Himalayan salt

Method

blend the avocado in a small blender/with a hand blender, then add in the remaining ingredients.

Pulse until desired consistency

Check seasoning

I served mine on top of a mega salad – Spinach leaves, a serving of last night’s beetroot salad, a couple of hard boiled eggs and topped with some pine nuts for a bit of crunch, a teeny drizzle of flax oil dressing and some black pepper.

What does natural ‘whole’ foods mean?

Some might call it 'Paleo' - eating in the way that our ancient ancestors (aka cavemen) were designed to - based on tonnes of vegetables, meat, fish, eggs, nuts, seeds, fruit and healthy fats. I always like to add a sprinkling of health supportive herbs and spices to my dishes too.
I'll tell you a secret. I don't like labels - or comparing what I eat with a caveman (or woman) that I never met. Let's just focus on the idea of good quality whole & healthy foods, prepared simply that nourish.
Whichever label from you choose there are an awful lot of amazing foods out there to get creative with - and the best part? They make you feel awesome.
